Esterases of intestinal mucosa and liver from human and rat were used to study the biotransformation of midecamycin derivatives. In the in vitro experiment with rat esterases, the 4"-acyl derivatives were more easily hydrolyzed than the 9-acyl derivatives. Among the 9-acyl esters, the highest hydrolytic activity was observed with butyrate. In the in vivo experiment, when the rats were administered with the derivatives of 4"-depropionylmidecamycin (M1) orally, comparatively more 9-acyl metabolites were excreted in the urine, but the amount of the 4"-acyl metabolites was very small. In the in vitro experiment with human esterases, the 9-acyl esters were hydrolyzed more easily than the 4"-acyl esters. Among the 9-acyl esters of M1, the highest hydrolytic activity was observed with butyrate. When the 9-acyl esters were administered to humans, the n-butyl ester was hydrolyzed faster than the acetyl ester. When the 9,4"-diacetyl ester was administered to humans, comparatively more 4"-acyl metabolites were excreted in the urine. These results suggest that the experiment with the use of these esterases is useful to estimate the biotransformation of midecamycin derivatives.
